None of the games in the franchise has been particularly demanding, but the latest iteration does offer some visual upgrades, which will, in turn, demand beefier hardware. Play it by a whole before judging it just by the multiplayer/random map.Age of Empires IV is all set to hit PCs worldwide on October 28. Despite having some bugs, it still awesome and (IMO) the best game ever! (Better than those all recent overrated games). Good voice actors NEGATIVE POINTS - Some annoying pathfinding bugs - Repetitive combat sounds - Shadows aren't very realistic - Water sucks - ES campaigns are too lengthy, and sometimes boring to play - Some not well done objects (such as Flowers 1,2,3,4, cracks, etc) - Too dumb AI (However you can design your own) - Stupid Villagers, that walks in a disorganized way and sometimes can slow your economy down - Some bugs could be solved down before releasing. It is basically two games in one! The scenario editor, a powerful editor which allows you to create your own world, your own game in any style (RPG, B&D, and whatever), and have the awesome multiplayer, in which you can load your own scenario, or play one of the several modes it have! It deserves a lot more than 9.0 (in my opinion should be awarded by a 9.5-9.8, because it's (if not the best) one of the best games ever! To summarize, I will write the positive and negative points bellow: POSITIVE POINTS - Awesome gameplay, and perfectly balanced - Scenario editor with thousands of possibilities, letting you make anything! - It doens't takes that much money from you (like those recent games, which any item costs around 10 Dollars) - Is the first one to have this theme (and well-succeeded) - Great graphics (for its time), overcoming many games made two or three years past it! - Almost no annoying bug, just helpful bugs (like invisible unit trick, invisible tile trick, heal unit trick, etc) - It can be a noob game, for relax, or can be a fuqin hardcore game (depending the way you play it!) - Quite good ES campaigns - Many sound effects of good quality. Age of empires II is one of the most creative games I've ever seen (suffered thousands of plagiarism after being released). Age Well, to start: I don't believe how this game got less than some CoD ones, and less than those all crappy games that have only graphics. Well, to start: I don't believe how this game got less than some CoD ones, and less than those all crappy games that have only graphics.

And if you already have it, go and play it again! It is really so much more enjoying than all the modern RTS games with fancy graphics but no substance. There has never been such an addicting RTS game out there, so if you still don't own it, buy it! It is more than worth it. It is already 9 years old and I am still playing it every now and then, because it just has so much more to offer than all the other RTS games that were released since then, especially AOE3, which was really disappointing to me. Besides that there is just an endless amount of stuff to do in this game, because there are so many different factions, units, strategies, campaigns, scenarios and probably the most easy to use map editor of all time. ) The gameplay is just awesome, because it has such a great balance between economy and warfare, which allows you to build huge cities and train enormous armies to besiege them. (look at 3D games of that time and you know what I mean. The graphics may not be up to date anymore but since it's 2D it doesn't grow old as fast as 3D titles do. ) Seriously this game has everything you ever wanted in an RTS game. The graphics may not be up to date Best RTS game of all time.
